NEW: Insight for the Day 01.06.2021 – Spiritual Audit

Case 01:06:2021 Accountants advise us that an audit is an evaluation of a person, organisation, system, process, project or product. The goal of an audit is to give an opinion under evaluation based on work done under test conditions. A spiritual audit was carried out in my church yesterday to assess how we would respond to the question posed to Adam in the garden – “Where art thou”. It was a real wake up call as we went step by step through twelve questions to assess our spiritual walk with Christ. The expression on people’s faces coupled with the long queue at the tape sales stand confirmed that chords had been struck and that a lot of work needed to be done! One of the questions that facilitated an assessment of our current state was determining the level of convictions we encountered when we committed a sin. The importance of our response is crucial because sin is what separates us from a close relationship with Jesus Christ. Hence the introduction of the new covenant to take over the old law which required the difficult and hard process of offering the sacrifices of bulls and oxen to cleanse the priest and the people because sin is not tolerated by God as highlighted in Hebrews 10 v 26 – 31: If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people. “It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. The extent to which God hates sin is demonstrated by him offering his only son to face a ghastly death on the cross so that we could be saved from eternal death. Eternal life is provided by Jesus so let us avoid every form of sin by drawing closer to avoid spiritual death.
